At Sora, students actively explore novel subjects and fields of study through Learning Expeditions. These expeditions are active learning experiences designed by our Learning Experts, held a couple of times per week and centered on a topic based on community level interest. In a Learning Expedition, students are pushed to the bounds of their knowledge and are active participants in their learning.
These expeditions are somewhat similar to a class, but they aren’t lectures. They’re socratic discussions, projects, labs, and other active-learning based formats. Students in Learning Expeditions meet at select times throughout the week.
Learning Expeditions typically take place over the course of a few weeks, after of which the expeditions change and new ones are offered, sometimes on new topics, sometimes on further exploration of previous expedition topics.
